Hmmmmmm...... I'm thinking of other decision-making groups I've served on, not having done jury duty. My gut reactioj and my experience of bodies of 12 is that any group of 12 will have geniuses, oddballs, and dolts-- which the process at hand deals with.

I think if the prosecutor or defense didn't wash him out, it's going to have to be left to the jury foreperson and, if irresponsible irregularities are occurring, that foreperson would probably go to the judge. Hopefully there are alternate jurors serving, or it could all go down the drain in a mistrial after everyone's hard work. Some mistrials trigger double jeopardy.

You have another option, depending how you feel about the case-- tipping off the side you support... if that's the defense and the jury finds a Guilty verdict you don't support, you might provide the accused good grounds for an appeal. But at this stage of the trial, unless your concern is that this individual could free a dangerous guilty person, it probably has to play out- I suppose you could call an attorney for advice.
